Spoken Latin and Teaching Methods

15/06/2016 15:52

So I have had rather a lot of fun watching some of the marvelous lectures by Professor Miraglia. His spoken Latin, whilst not to everyone's taste, is one of the most fluent and passionate I have ever heard. If you have the chance, do try and track some of his work down.

Word to those expecting polished wonderful edited prose.

I use this site to throw words at a screen and sometimes some wonderful people tell me what they think of them, please join in.

A wisdom seeking, self indulgent lover of history abides here. Fate, religion and the role of women, its all interesting to me, but so is watching This Week, so unsure where that leaves us.
